WASHINGTON \u2014 New York Times columnist David Brooks and Google co-founder Sergey Brin are among the new faces in photos released Thursday by congressional Democrats from a trove of documents handed over by the estate of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Magician David Blaine and Noam Chomsky, the linguist and political commentator, also were pictured in the cache, which was released without any evidence of wrongdoing on their part.<\/p>\n

None of the four men immediately responded to The Post\u2019s request for comment, though the Times defended Brooks<\/a>, saying his interaction with Epstein was for journalistic purposed and confined to a single 2011 event.<\/p>\n

Brin was photographed at the same event as Brooks.<\/p>\n

Blaine, meanwhile, was pictured standing at the edge of a boardroom table \u2014 as Epstein rested his arms on chairs occupied by filmmaker Woody Allen and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, both previously well-known Epstein associates.<\/p>\n

Additional photos in the collection<\/a> show President Trump\u2019s former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who says he interviewed Epstein for a project that has not been published, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who is shown with his arm around a woman.<\/p>\n

The photo collection was released just one day before a congressionally mandated deadline for the Justice Department to release most files from its investigation of Epstein, whom authorities say hanged himself in jail while awaiting charges in 2019.<\/p>\n

Trump initially opposed the legislative requirement, accusing Democrats of perpetuating a \u201choax\u201d to smear him and others for their past associations with the disgraced financier.<\/p>\n

Trump says he broke off contact with Epstein after years of partying together in New York and Palm Beach over Epstein\u2019s theft of staff from Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n

Former President Bill Clinton also was a close associate of Epstein<\/a>, but also says he broke off communications before Epstein\u2019s public disgrace, which began with his guilty plea to Florida sex crimes in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An image collage containing 3 images, Image 1 shows The New York Times columnist David Brooks, Image 2…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[6055,6053,2205,6054,6056,812,664,6052,614],"class_list":{"0":"post-5757","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sergey-brin","8":"tag-congressional-democrats","9":"tag-david-blaine","10":"tag-david-brooks","11":"tag-ehud-barak","12":"tag-epstein-associates","13":"tag-google","14":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","15":"tag-noam-chomsky","16":"tag-sergey-brin"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116338683218774777","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
